During a life-changing journey through Japan, Elke discovered the timeless art of Japanese gardens and was deeply moved by their balance, elegance, and serenity — spaces where nature, design, and philosophy seamlessly come together. This inspiration led to the creation of TEN GARDENS, a studio dedicated to bringing the essence of Japanese garden design to life.

 

Rooted in simplicity, balance, and authenticity, TEN GARDENS designs landscapes where every element — from stone and water to plants and light — has meaning and purpose. With the same care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that characterize TENARCHITECTS, we create gardens that invite reflection, inspire the senses, and exist in harmony with both their users and their surroundings.
